City Tax

The City of Venice applies a tourist tax on overnight stays. The tax is payable by all non-residents who stay overnight for the first 5 consecutive days of stay, whether it is in a hostel, hotel or apartment. The full rate is between 1 and 5 euros per person per night, and varies according to the time of year (high season from 1st February to 31st December; low season from 1st to 31st January) the location, type and classification of accommodation.

Daily Entrance Fee (planned 2020)

Owing to the sheer number of visitors, the City of Venice applies tourist taxes and fees which go towards the cost of maintaining the city itself and the services.

A new daily ‘contributo di accesso’ or access fee, will be priced accordingly, depending on how busy the city is. Official figures have not been confirmed but the cost may go up to €10 ($12) on the busiest days, to dissuade people from entering on peak days.

Toilets / Restrooms in Venice

Owing to the sheer amount of tourist traffic, most bars and cafes reserve the facilities for paying customers only. It is advisable to keep a small packet of tissues / Kleenex on you and to look before you sit; many toilets don’t have seats.

There are public toilets (€1.50) scattered around Venice near tourist attractions open from 7am to 7pm (earlier in winter). Look for the WC or Toilette signs. You can find the nearest services on their website below, by using their mobile app, or you can also prepay for visits to the toilet if you buy a Venezia Unica City Pass.
